Goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera arrived on the scene and was given a second yellow of his own for descent before Enrique Triverio steamed in and shoved the referee who immediately whipped out a straight red.

Eight-man Toluca were able to hang on until the end of the match and force a penalty shootout.

But their poor discipline cost them in the shootout, as they missed their first three spot kicks, while Morelia netted theirs to progress into the last eight.
